Tournament Re-Cap Hardcore Hoops!

Looks like we did it again!

Seven in a row leads to another championship!

The young guns came out with intensity and defense. We were able to win both of our games on Saturday with pressure defense. I’m sure at times our opponents thought we might have had 6 guys on the floor, these young guys were everywhere.

Everyone knows our philosophy, if you don’t play defense you don’t play.

This is our youngest group and their slowly seeing and starting to understand the Pressure way. Both of the teams we played on Saturday were pretty good and could have easily made it to the championship game on Sunday, but they played a young Pressure team who are getting better every time out.

Sunday’s first game proved to be a little warm up for the guys who played a younger team that was just over matched with the score reflecting just that. However, the championship game was a little more competitive and spirited. Basic Basketball came into the game undefeated as well and had no intentions of losing. Pressure was applied from the out set and Basic Basketball could never get started.

The MVP award went to Jaye Dickenson who did a nice job of grabbing rebounds and jumping into passing lanes which lead to easy transition baskets. An easy win got a little choppy as the guys built an early lead. It was nice to see them push through things.

When you continue to play the game the correctly and maintain your composure the end result will speak for itself.

Good job guys see you at practice on Saturday.

Hello Pressure Family,

Thanks for your support this past weekend. We had a rough go of it at the Hardcore Hoops Classic we ended up splitting our two games on Saturday. With us being down with only a few seconds remaining, team Homecourt made a critical mistake, the fouled Kyle. Trailing by 1 Kyle walks to the line and calmly sinks both of his shots, game over good guys win.

Sunday brought a new day with new challenges. Playing without Kyle and Lance put us at a huge disadvantage; equate that to the Lakers not playing without Kobe and Lamar. Young Will did his best he came out firing scoring our first 9 points. Oh but again we all know what we say. You must be able to stop the other team. ( DEFENSE) It was non-existent. On the bright side we showed that when we’re patient and run our offense we can score and get easy shots. Defensively we had a few lapses, (missed rotations, boxing out, and getting back on defense. All of these things are correctable and I’m sure we will be addressing these things in practice. (If you don’t play defense you don’t play!)  Playing with the boys for the first time Shortie (Shavon) did a pretty good job, she’s going to be real good.

Well everyone until next time, see you at practice,

Coach Marshall
